Today's SwaRon sequence was phenomenal, as far as I'm concerned. Whether it be the performances, the script, or the ideas behind it...BRILLIANT stuff. Touchwood.
First, I LOVE how, contrary to what he said, Swayam doesn't really have to think too hard to know what's on Sharon's mind. And it takes one word to that effect from him, to make Sharon almost automatically drop her defenses for a moment. You can see it in her eyes, SO clearly, like she's caught at something she was trying SO hard to hide away. The whole sequence was such an oddly satisfying experience for me, as a viewer AND as a SwaRon fan. It had everything I could have asked for. And nothing of what I would have hated, the foremost in my dislike list being melodrama. They kept it simple, direct, and it hit hardest that way. The substance of the entire scene lay for me in what wasn't said...what wasn't written in those letters he burnt, but shone in his eyes as he burnt them, what she didn't say when he walked away but shone in the tears in her eyes as she saw them burning...
It hit Sharon, first of all, like an almost physical blow, just how deluded she's been all this while, right upto the moment when she emptied the bag in a vain attempt to reiterate that "it's over". When in fact, she's been refusing all this while to acknowledge anything had ever begun! It hit her that he's not the Swayam who'd take it all in without a word in protest. That in burning her bridges with him in that isolated staircase, she's burned a part of his heart...and that he's perfectly capable of doing some literal burning of their memories himself, we all saw for ourselves today.
And Swayam...his eyes speak VOLUMES too, just like hers. When he held those burning letters, it's like he was willing Sharon to see what he's feeling in that fire...to look him in the eye and really deny that it's over. And she didn't. Because she couldn't. And without another word, he walks away, stopping only to tell her that the 'kachra' will be cleared away to her satisfaction. It becomes the final blow that she reels under and suddenly, almost instinctively tries to save what's left of those very memories she'd come here to throw away.
Shantanu and Sneha, you guys leave me no recourse to language at all, do you? I mean, how do you expect me to even come close to articulating how proud you two make me feel? Touchwood a million times over for the fine actors you've grown into with D3. And all the very best to keep on growing to perfection! You two were SUPERB today.
THANK YOU for a brilliant scene today, CVs. Much appreciated.
